Chocolates is very popular and a favorite present especially for lovers and soon to be sweethearts. When we mentioned chocolate first thing that comes in mind is it is “sweet” and should be eaten moderately because it contains high calorie and a high fat food. Although some fat in dark chocolate don’t have bearing in your cholesterol. I love chocolates in fact I have my own favorites, but I go for Dark chocolates. Dark chocolate is a chocolate without milk solids and this kind of chocolate is susceptible to dry, it has chalky texture and has both sweet and bitter taste. The key ingredients in dark chocolate are cacao beans, sugar and lecithin, this components help to retain its quality. Dark chocolates can be classified according to their cocoa solid content in a bar. Usually commercial dark chocolate bars contains 30%, 70% and 75%% respectively or 80% above for extremely dark chocolates. It is also known as bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate and sweet dark chocolate.

Eating a small bar of dark chocolate everyday can help keep your heart running well. It can reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol as well. If you eat half bar of dark chocolate in a day you must refrain from eating other sweets, instead, eat less of something else to maintain your calorie. You should know that chocolates have 300 compounds and chemicals in every bite so, better take time and enjoy the taste. It has higher antioxidants compared to milk chocolates. When buying dark chocolate choose pure dark chocolates or with nuts, orange peel and other flavorings except with caramel, nougat etc. they just added sugar and fat in it. Avoid milk after eating dark chocolate for it will prevent the proper absorption of antioxidants in your body.
